Are We Ever Going to Spend Money? - Transfers, Rumors, & Lies Thread

Martial would have been great if Zidane stayed. If Lopetegui is asking for Rodrigo then Florentino should bring him. Problem is Florentino can easily override Lopetegui because he has virtually no reputation, unlike Zidane, Mourinho or Wenger if we signed him.

 

In what world does defence now become our focus? Its hard to improve what we have at the back. Only Vallejo could be replaced as his constant injuries are a problem.

It’s so obvious we need a better striker. Everyone knows but the management. Mayoral wouldn’t start for any team in the top half of the league. It’s ridiculous that he becomes our main goal scoring threat off the bench. It’s annoying me how stupid the management are being.

 

The defence will be OK once they gel. For this system to work, we need more possession of the ball. It also felt like we did not have an outlet in the attack and we have rarely maintained pressure on them in their own box. Most of our possession was too far from their goal and they have successfully steered the game to a scrappy affair.

 

I didn’t say the whole saga was all about money, but Chelsea wasn’t his first choice Mr Clueso.

 

Situations to resolve, not taking into consideration signings:

Casilla/Luca - Both probably need to be sold, no point keeping either one. Courtois/Navas/Lunin will likely be the three keepers. Kiko’s current wages will be a problem for most teams, don’t know who wants Zidane.

Coentrao - Training on his own at Valdebebas, one year left on his contract. Will likely need to pay his wages just to have somebody take him off our hands.

Valverde - Loan to a good team in La Liga. No playing time behind Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Ceballos, Llorente.

Odegaard - Sure, some may want him part of the squad for needed creativity but it’s clear he’s not part of JL’s plans for this season. Another loan coming up, but a transfer with a buyback clause also wouldn’t shock me.

de Tomas - Time to sell. Seems like he is close to joining Sporting, whether it’s a loan with a buy option or a transfer with a buyback clause remains to be seen.

If we miraculously sign a striker, Mayoral could likely be sold or is perhaps still kept as a 3rd striker option. As it stands, he is Benz’s direct backup. Reguilon currently stands as Marcelo’s backup, but there continue to be rumours of us signing a LB. He shouldn’t go back to Castilla, the boy is ready for first team football somewhere.

Right now...

Courtois / Navas / Lunin
Ramos / Varane / Nacho / Vallejo
Carvajal / Odriozola
Marcelo / Reguilon
Casemiro / Llorente
Modric / Kroos / Isco / Ceballos
Bale / Asensio / Lucas / Vinícius
Benzema / Mayoral

That’s our 23 man squad. Short of a quality attacking option, that’s for sure.

 

Is JL being persistent, because it seems like all his statements on transfers are made simply to avoid conflict with Flo.

Mou had a sit down with Raul and basically forced him out of the club, and the club had to take a bad deal to see his back. Then Mou said a team needs 5 strikers, but he only got two of the best in the world (Benz, Pipita). Then in January when Higuain was hurt he excluded Benz from the team and went strikerless. He got Adebayor on loan and won La Liga with the same 2 strikers a year later.

Mou is a horrible example for anyone on how to manage a team, but JL better figure something out or he will win nothing and get fired.

 

Yeah man, heard great arguments too like ‘if we win nothing it is okay’. We are Real Madrid, not a random 3rd division club. I’m 100% sure a player like Rodrigo will make us better in the Liga. Ofcourse he is not the best forward, but at least we will have depht in our squad and he can provide us some goals.

You people want top players, but the reality is that we can’t get any and we’re not sure PSG will sell next year. So tell me what it matters if we pay 50 or 80ME for Rodrigo when he makes us better? We need a forward, don’t you think?

 

Do you still think PSG will sell? Wake up man, PSG won’t sell their front 3. Who will replace him? And Bayern won’t let Lewa go, not even for 150ME, their own words.

 

We need a couple of new players, but we also shouldn't overspend, which is why you don't wait until August to start looking.

80ME for Rodrigo is too much, we are better off going after Martial, who is also not worth that (especially given his situation). There are a lot of players out there who would be an upgrade on Mayoral who wouldn't cost more than 50ME. The club isn't even trying though.

 

The guy just asked a question. You don’t always have to act like a d*ck, even if it’s a stupid question.

 

Last week a couple of guys said it is okay to win nothing this year and to build. But okay, partly I agree with you. I don’t like overspending either on players we don’t need, like Liverpool did for years. But we need a forward, more than anything and 80ME is not a problem for us at all. It is not like we will spend more money this year. Someone like Rodrigo would give us some goals in the league, and we really need goals. We can’t rely on Benzema and Mayoral.

 

No i don't think it's a matter of personnel as much as it's tactical. That is Lopetegui's job. He should fix it either by working on the individual's mind set and focus during the game, or by deploying collective schemes that may lead to us giving up less chances, like being aware when to clear the ball and when build up the play from the back.

 

I can't imagine that i, behind my tablet, know more than a professional manager who has worked with the player closely at the highest level.

 

People still don't understand that in this market you have to pay big money to get players. If we paid 50 million for a 16 year old Vinicius, how do you expect to get a guys like Martial or Rodrigo who are internationals for cheap? Or anyone else for that matter? People are in denial about this market. Freaking Kepa just went for 80 million euros. Thats just the reality.

 

A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, especially when that bush is PSG. Signing a player next summer doesn't really help us this year, and what if we drop out of 4th place (realistic, we were fighting for 4th most of last season).

 

Tell that to Bayern and Lewandowski. Monaco had complete right to refuse PSG's offer. It has the right to refuse both offers, if it wants to. Players can work with the choices their clubs give. Nothing to do with humans or videogame characters.

 

How about Ciro Immobile?

 

I know the "marshmellow test" and I have a toddler at home. Problem is that there is no hidden bag of marshmellows in this market. There is no guarantees we can get better deals in the future.

Courtois is the perfect example of that. We could have told him to sit tight until January and got him for free but we are not dealing with four year old. Players and clubs want contracts, not a "promise" that things will be better if the other party waits patiently.

What do you think will happen if Flo tolls Modric reject the offer from Inter today and next summer I'll give you a raise.

 

Dude stop whining about my posts like a bitch lol.

Just put me on ignore. It will help your blood pressure.
